There are tales of a mine in Alberta, one so legendary that whoever finds it will be set up for life with the riches inside.
The trick is finding the mine, which may or may not exist. For over a century now, its legend has persisted as the mine itself has remained lost to history.
It is the Lost Lemon Mine, and few mines in the Rockies are as well-known, or as sought after. Many call it the greatest mystery of the Canadian Rockies and those who have looked for it have met with failure, and in some cases, death.
The tale begins in 1875 with Sir Cecil E. Denny, a baron from England who moved to Edmonton to become a police officer and author. Serving with the North West Mounted Police as an inspector, he arrested a Mexican outlaw and whiskey trader. The outlaw began talking about a cache of gold dust hidden in a rock cleft in the mountains, coupled with a tale of murder.
Highly skeptical of the story, Denny asked that the outlaw lead him to it. They journeyed to the spot and found two skeletons and a buckskin bag that was in very poor condition. Around the ground was gold dust, valued at hundreds of dollars.
That is where the tale ends of Denny, and the outlaw, who paid a fine and disappeared.
Four years later in 1879, Joe Lemon and his partner Black Jack apparently found the mine, and the gold inside. Sadly, gold can make people do strange things and after an argument over whether or not they should return in the spring, or camp at the location. The argument became heated enough that after they bedded down, Lemon apparently murdered Black Jack with an axe to the head. Resolving to leave the camp the next morning, Lemon built a huge fire and paced back and forth with a rifle, mumbling to himself as he slowly went mad, or at least had a mental breakdown. He would make his way back into civilization and confessed to his crime.
According to legend, some Blackfoot saw the murder take place and they told their chief. ChiefBearspaw then put a curse on the area and had his tribe swear they would never reveal the mine to anyone. They also destroyed the entire site, and all evidence of anyone being there.
It is also rumoured that Black Jack terrorized his former friend with glowing eyes staring at him, slowly driving Lemon insane during that fateful night. Some accounts say that as soon as Lemon would leave the area around the mine, he would regain his senses. Upon reaching civilization, he confessed to a priest, but again accounts differ and some say he led a group of miners towards the Lemon Mine but again as he approached the area, he once again went insane.
Regardless of what happened following the murder, Lemon was eventually sentenced to death by hanging for the murder. He would pass away from smallpox before he could be hanged.
Interestingly, according to Frank Anderson, a folk historian, Black Jack did not die at the hands of Lemon, but quietly as an old man in 1913.
As word spread about the mine, hundreds of men began searching over the years.
John McDougall, who had been dispatched to bury the body of Black Jack, would later lead a party to the mine area. Prior to meeting up with a group of miners, he stopped at a fort in Montana, sat down to drink and promptly drank himself to death.
LafayetteFrench, a pioneer in southern Alberta, reportedly found the mine and returned to High River. Soon after arriving at his cabin on Willow Creek, the building burned down, taking all the evidence, and French's life, in the process.
In the1930s, there were reports of gold in the area of where the mine was reported to be. An expedition was led by an experienced trapper and prospector named George Pocaterra, but no gold and no mine, were ever found. Despite this, 200 to 300, and by some accounts 700, men came upon the area looking for gold, but none was ever found and within 10 days, everyone had left the area.
FredCaron wrote a diary of this short gold rush.
Another man by the name of Barb WireJohnny, who lived in the Willow Creek area, spent a great deal of his time in the mountains and stated he had found the mine at one time. While he said he knew where the mine was located, he never revealed it to anyone.
Today, while many have attempted, no one has ever found the fabled mine again.

The economy of Calgary includes activity in the energy, financial services, film and television, transportation and logistics, technology, manufacturing, aerospace, health and wellness, retail, and tourism sectors. The Calgary CMA is home to the second-highest number of corporate head offices in Canada among the country's 800 largest corporations.

Mining

Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth from an orebody, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposits which forms the mineralized package of economic interest to the miner.

Mining of stones and metal has been a human activity since pre-historic times. Modern mining processes involve prospecting for ore bodies, analysis of the profit potential of a proposed mine, extraction of the desired materials, and final reclamation of the land after the mine is closed.

Mining operations usually create a negative environmental impact, both during the mining activity and after the mine has closed. Hence, most of the world's nations have passed regulations to decrease the impact. Worker safety has long been a concern as well, and modern practices have significantly improved safety in mines.

TOP 8 WORST PLACES TO MOVE IN CANADA (2013)

416-962-2623 / 1-866-760-2623
Opinions expressed in this article are solely those of Pat Spracklin, author of the article, and do not reflect the attitudes or views of the photographers whose work is used below -
We’ve told you about some of the underrated immigration destinations in Canada, now check out our list of places prospective Canadians should avoid: the poor places, the racist places, the isolated places, the depressing places, the worst of the worst! Naturally, the tiny towns in the woods of Northern Ontario or the southern shore of Newfoundland would be the worst of the worst, but let’s be reasonable. Here are list of towns and cities with a substantial population (at least 5000 residents) that might seem like a decent idea to a prospective immigrant interested in a slower pace of living.
Photos Credit to:
1. New Glasgow, Nova ScotiaPhoto by VerneEquinox, via Wikimedia Commons
Photo by JBarta via Wikimedia Commons
High crime rate? Check.
High unemployment? Check.
High cost of living? Check.
Limited access to services? Check.
High property taxes? Check.
Bad weather? Check.
Despite being a small, quaint city just a few hours from Halifax, New Glasgow tops polls of the worst places to live in Canada. How could those 10,000 people stand it? They must have all been born there.
In 2009 New Glasgow ranked 36th out of 208 in StatsCan's crime severity index. The crime rate increased from 2011 to 2012, and was significantly higher than the provincial average.
In 2006, New Glasgow had an unemployment rate of 7.7%. It has decreased since then and, as of the 2011 census, it was 5.7%, or slightly lower than the provincial average.
The cost of living in New Glasgow was estimated by one website to be 4% higher than the cost of living in New York City, but only 30.3% of those reporting say their households earn more than $60,000 Canadian per year (after taxes).
Property tax in New Glasgow was higher than the average in Nova Scotia and significantly higher than Halifax up to and including 2013.
Climate
New Glasgow receives 1212 cm of precipitation per year (that's more than Vancouver).
2. Kitchener - Waterloo, Ontario

Congratulations, Kitchener / Waterloo, you are the hate crime capital of Canada! Despite hosting two universities and a massive tech company campus, the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge tri-city area experiences a high per capita rate of verbal and physical assaults on ethnic, religious and gay minorities. Despite its location in the highly diverse Southern Ontario region, Kitchener has inherited the mantle from the previous main offender, Calgary.
In 2011 Kitchener-Waterloo was surpassed by Peterborough, Hamilton and Ottawa in police-reported hate crimes, however the rate remained at nearly double the national average.
3. Thetford Mines, Quebec
The third of the three rogues’ gallery dwellers is poor Thetford Mines, the heart of Quebec’s asbestos mining region and the winner of the title Most Polluted City in Canada. Despite the overwhelming evidence of the dangerous health effects of asbestos, Canada still mines the dangerous mineral, and the biggest mine in a populated area is in Thetford Mines.
4. Bay Roberts, Newfoundland
Photos by Werner Koehler, via Wikimedia Commons
Many, many other rural communities on the east coast could make this list, but Bay Roberts appears because it has the highest unemployment rate in Canada, at 17%. Despite the oil, gas, mining and hydro-power booms in Newfoundland, Bay Roberts has somehow managed to avoid the job benefits. This wouldn’t seem so peculiar if Bay Roberts wasn’t just an hour’s drive from money-drunk St. John’s and other rapidly expanding bedroom communities like Conception Bay South.
The unemployment rate has improved as it was 20.7% in 2006
5. Sarnia, Ontario
Photo by P199, via Wikimedia
Sarnia itself may not be so bad, but its view of and proximity to American heavy industry helps to reinforce the fact that this border town is polluted. It also has an empty downtown and a shrinking population.
6. Saint John, New Brunswick

Photo by Shipley07, via Wikimedia

Long known as the unglamourous milltown cousin to its apostrophic neighbour to the east, St. John’s, Saint John is a dirty, stinky pulp and paper port on the Bay of Fundy. Despite the natural beauty nearby, the city has a declining population and few economic opportunities outside of the paper mills, nuclear power plant, and small university satellite campus. Don’t end up in Saint John when you want to live in St. John’s!

Bre-X Minerals Gold Mining Scandal

Bre-X Minerals Gold Mining Scandal

Bre-X Minerals Gold Mining Scandal

In 1993, an obscure prospector stumbled across a neglected property in Borneo and turned it into a mining site worth billions. Michael De Guzman fooled both the mining industry and the entire financial world and so became a multi-millionaire. Using salted samples with gold from his wedding ring, de Guzman fooled the gold industry into investing in his mines - on land owned by Bre-X.

My first setup with my Angus Mackirk "Sidekick" with #12 mesh concentrates from the Bow River in Calgary. 1,100gph pump with a 1" ball valve 3/4 of the way closed. Need to get a 600gph pump or run a recirculating relief line to take the pressure away. Found nothing in this as I have panned it all previous and only found a SMALL amount of black sand and no gold, flour or otherwise..... Which is exactly what I expected from the bow.... A little concerned about the water pattern on the second riffle, will look in to it.

Solar Eclipse Aug 21 2017 Calgary Alberta Canada

My plan was to be in the path of total totality but life got in the way and I ended up not going (went gold mining instead!!).
Anyway I was all sore from mining and I thought I would do a video of the solar eclipse as seen from Calgary Alberta Canada. The maximum coverage was only 80%.
Some things to note: It didnt really get any darker out, but it did drop in temperature! Anyway I hope you enjoy the video, I will admit it was a bit amature. Send me money for better equipment..
Oh well, next time.

There are tales of a mine in Alberta, one so legendary that whoever finds it will be set up for life with the riches inside.
The trick is finding the mine, which may or may not exist. For over a century now, its legend has persisted as the mine itself has remained lost to history.
It is the Lost Lemon Mine, and few mines in the Rockies are as well-known, or as sought after. Many call it the greatest mystery of the Canadian Rockies and those who have looked for it have met with failure, and in some cases, death.
The tale begins in 1875 with Sir Cecil E. Denny, a baron from England who moved to Edmonton to become a police officer and ...

Bre-X Minerals Gold Mining Scandal

In 1993, an obscure prospector stumbled across a neglected property in Borneo and turned it into a mining site worth billions. Michael De Guzman fooled both the mining industry and the entire financial world and so became a multi-millionaire. Using salted samples with gold from his wedding ring, de Guzman fooled the gold industry into investing in his mines - on land owned by Bre-X.

First run on my Angus Mackirk Sidekick - Bow River Calgary Alberta Gold

My first setup with my Angus Mackirk "Sidekick" with #12 mesh concentrates from the Bow River in Calgary. 1,100gph pump with a 1" ball valve 3/4 of the way closed. Need to get a 600gph pump or run a recirculating relief line to take the pressure away. Found nothing in this as I have panned it all previous and only found a SMALL amount of black sand and no gold, flour or otherwise..... Which is exactly what I expected from the bow.... A little concerned about the water pattern on the second riffle, will look in to it.

There are tales of a mine in Alberta, one so legendary that whoever finds it will be set up for life with the riches inside.
The trick is finding the mine, which may or may not exist. For over a century now, its legend has persisted as the mine itself has remained lost to history.
It is the Lost Lemon Mine, and few mines in the Rockies are as well-known, or as sought after. Many call it the greatest mystery of the Canadian Rockies and those who have looked for it have met with failure, and in some cases, death.
The tale begins in 1875 with Sir Cecil E. Denny, a baron from England who moved to Edmonton to become a police officer and author. Serving with the North West Mounted Police as an inspector, he arrested a Mexican outlaw and whiskey trader. The outlaw began talking about a cache of gold dust hidden in a rock cleft in the mountains, coupled with a tale of murder.
Highly skeptical of the story, Denny asked that the outlaw lead him to it. They journeyed to the spot and found two skeletons and a buckskin bag that was in very poor condition. Around the ground was gold dust, valued at hundreds of dollars.
That is where the tale ends of Denny, and the outlaw, who paid a fine and disappeared.
Four years later in 1879, Joe Lemon and his partner Black Jack apparently found the mine, and the gold inside. Sadly, gold can make people do strange things and after an argument over whether or not they should return in the spring, or camp at the location. The argument became heated enough that after they bedded down, Lemon apparently murdered Black Jack with an axe to the head. Resolving to leave the camp the next morning, Lemon built a huge fire and paced back and forth with a rifle, mumbling to himself as he slowly went mad, or at least had a mental breakdown. He would make his way back into civilization and confessed to his crime.
According to legend, some Blackfoot saw the murder take place and they told their chief. ChiefBearspaw then put a curse on the area and had his tribe swear they would never reveal the mine to anyone. They also destroyed the entire site, and all evidence of anyone being there.
It is also rumoured that Black Jack terrorized his former friend with glowing eyes staring at him, slowly driving Lemon insane during that fateful night. Some accounts say that as soon as Lemon would leave the area around the mine, he would regain his senses. Upon reaching civilization, he confessed to a priest, but again accounts differ and some say he led a group of miners towards the Lemon Mine but again as he approached the area, he once again went insane.
Regardless of what happened following the murder, Lemon was eventually sentenced to death by hanging for the murder. He would pass away from smallpox before he could be hanged.
Interestingly, according to Frank Anderson, a folk historian, Black Jack did not die at the hands of Lemon, but quietly as an old man in 1913.
As word spread about the mine, hundreds of men began searching over the years.
John McDougall, who had been dispatched to bury the body of Black Jack, would later lead a party to the mine area. Prior to meeting up with a group of miners, he stopped at a fort in Montana, sat down to drink and promptly drank himself to death.
LafayetteFrench, a pioneer in southern Alberta, reportedly found the mine and returned to High River. Soon after arriving at his cabin on Willow Creek, the building burned down, taking all the evidence, and French's life, in the process.
In the1930s, there were reports of gold in the area of where the mine was reported to be. An expedition was led by an experienced trapper and prospector named George Pocaterra, but no gold and no mine, were ever found. Despite this, 200 to 300, and by some accounts 700, men came upon the area looking for gold, but none was ever found and within 10 days, everyone had left the area.
FredCaron wrote a diary of this short gold rush.
Another man by the name of Barb WireJohnny, who lived in the Willow Creek area, spent a great deal of his time in the mountains and stated he had found the mine at one time. While he said he knew where the mine was located, he never revealed it to anyone.
Today, while many have attempted, no one has ever found the fabled mine again.

We’ve told you about some of the underrated immigration destinations in Canada, now check out our list of places prospective Canadians should avoid: the poor places, the racist places, the isolated places, the depressing places, the worst of the worst! Naturally, the tiny towns in the woods of Northern Ontario or the southern shore of Newfoundland would be the worst of the worst, but let’s be reasonable. Here are list of towns and cities with a substantial population (at least 5000 residents) that might seem like a decent idea to a prospective immigrant interested in a slower pace of living.

1. New Glasgow, Nova ScotiaPhoto by VerneEquinox, via Wikimedia Commons
Photo by JBarta via Wikimedia Commons
High crime rate? Check.
High unemployment? Check.
High cost of living? Check.
Limited access to services? Check.
High property taxes? Check.
Bad weather? Check.
Despite being a small, quaint city just a few hours from Halifax, New Glasgow tops polls of the worst places to live in Canada. How could those 10,000 people stand it? They must have all been born there.
In 2009 New Glasgow ranked 36th out of 208 in StatsCan's crime severity index. The crime rate increased from 2011 to 2012, and was significantly higher than the provincial average.
In 2006, New Glasgow had an unemployment rate of 7.7%. It has decreased since then and, as of the 2011 census, it was 5.7%, or slightly lower than the provincial average.
The cost of living in New Glasgow was estimated by one website to be 4% higher than the cost of living in New York City, but only 30.3% of those reporting say their households earn more than $60,000 Canadian per year (after taxes).
Property tax in New Glasgow was higher than the average in Nova Scotia and significantly higher than Halifax up to and including 2013.
Climate
New Glasgow receives 1212 cm of precipitation per year (that's more than Vancouver).
2. Kitchener - Waterloo, Ontario

Congratulations, Kitchener / Waterloo, you are the hate crime capital of Canada! Despite hosting two universities and a massive tech company campus, the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge tri-city area experiences a high per capita rate of verbal and physical assaults on ethnic, religious and gay minorities. Despite its location in the highly diverse Southern Ontario region, Kitchener has inherited the mantle from the previous main offender, Calgary.
In 2011 Kitchener-Waterloo was surpassed by Peterborough, Hamilton and Ottawa in police-reported hate crimes, however the rate remained at nearly double the national average.
3. Thetford Mines, Quebec
The third of the three rogues’ gallery dwellers is poor Thetford Mines, the heart of Quebec’s asbestos mining region and the winner of the title Most Polluted City in Canada. Despite the overwhelming evidence of the dangerous health effects of asbestos, Canada still mines the dangerous mineral, and the biggest mine in a populated area is in Thetford Mines.
4. Bay Roberts, Newfoundland
Photos by Werner Koehler, via Wikimedia Commons
Many, many other rural communities on the east coast could make this list, but Bay Roberts appears because it has the highest unemployment rate in Canada, at 17%. Despite the oil, gas, mining and hydro-power booms in Newfoundland, Bay Roberts has somehow managed to avoid the job benefits. This wouldn’t seem so peculiar if Bay Roberts wasn’t just an hour’s drive from money-drunk St. John’s and other rapidly expanding bedroom communities like Conception Bay South.
The unemployment rate has improved as it was 20.7% in 2006
5. Sarnia, Ontario
Photo by P199, via Wikimedia
Sarnia itself may not be so bad, but its view of and proximity to American heavy industry helps to reinforce the fact that this border town is polluted. It also has an empty downtown and a shrinking population.
6. Saint John, New Brunswick
Photo by DDD DDD, via Wikimedia
Photo by Shipley07, via Wikimedia

Long known as the unglamourous milltown cousin to its apostrophic neighbour to the east, St. John’s, Saint John is a dirty, stinky pulp and paper port on the Bay of Fundy. Despite the natural beauty nearby, the city has a declining population and few economic opportunities outside of the paper mills, nuclear power plant, and small university satellite campus. Don’t end up in Saint John when you want to live in St. John’s!

2. Kitchener - Waterloo, Ontario

Congratulations, Kitchener / Waterloo, you are the hate crime capital of Canada! Despite hosting two universities and a massive tech company campus, the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge tri-city area experiences a high per capita rate of verbal and physical assaults on ethnic, religious and gay minorities. Despite its location in the highly diverse Southern Ontario region, Kitchener has inherited the mantle from the previous main offender, Calgary.
In 2011 Kitchener-Waterloo was surpassed by Peterborough, Hamilton and Ottawa in police-reported hate crimes, however the rate remained at nearly double the national average.
3. Thetford Mines, Quebec
The third of the three rogues’ gallery dwellers is poor Thetford Mines, the heart of Quebec’s asbestos mining region and the winner of the title Most Polluted City in Canada. Despite the overwhelming evidence of the dangerous health effects of asbestos, Canada still mines the dangerous mineral, and the biggest mine in a populated area is in Thetford Mines.
4. Bay Roberts, Newfoundland
Photos by Werner Koehler, via Wikimedia Commons
Many, many other rural communities on the east coast could make this list, but Bay Roberts appears because it has the highest unemployment rate in Canada, at 17%. Despite the oil, gas, mining and hydro-power booms in Newfoundland, Bay Roberts has somehow managed to avoid the job benefits. This wouldn’t seem so peculiar if Bay Roberts wasn’t just an hour’s drive from money-drunk St. John’s and other rapidly expanding bedroom communities like Conception Bay South.
The unemployment rate has improved as it was 20.7% in 2006
5. Sarnia, Ontario
Photo by P199, via Wikimedia
Sarnia itself may not be so bad, but its view of and proximity to American heavy industry helps to reinforce the fact that this border town is polluted. It also has an empty downtown and a shrinking population.
6. Saint John, New Brunswick

Long known as the unglamourous milltown cousin to its apostrophic neighbour to the east, St. John’s, Saint John is a dirty, stinky pulp and paper port on the Bay of Fundy. Despite the natural beauty nearby, the city has a declining population and few economic opportunities outside of the paper mills, nuclear power plant, and small university satellite campus. Don’t end up in Saint John when you want to live in St. John’s!

In 1993, an obscure prospector stumbled across a neglected property in Borneo and turned it into a mining site worth billions. Michael De Guzman fooled both the mining industry and the entire financial world and so became a multi-millionaire. Using salted samples with gold from his wedding ring, de Guzman fooled the gold industry into investing in his mines - on land owned by Bre-X.

My first setup with my Angus Mackirk "Sidekick" with #12 mesh concentrates from the Bow River in Calgary. 1,100gph pump with a 1" ball valve 3/4 of the way closed. Need to get a 600gph pump or run a recirculating relief line to take the pressure away. Found nothing in this as I have panned it all previous and only found a SMALL amount of black sand and no gold, flour or otherwise..... Which is exactly what I expected from the bow.... A little concerned about the water pattern on the second riffle, will look in to it.

I decided to visit my friends from Holland who were exploring the Canadian Rockies with their RV, before chasing them down in Banff I treated myself on the most famous hot dog in Canada at Tubby Dog and tried to break the glass floor at the Calgary Tower.
Photos, guide, maps & details on my blog:
http://www.reformatt.com/10-travel-tips-calgary-alberta
It was such a memorable experience meeting my Dutch friends on the other side of the world so we decided to do it up proper with a family BBQ and a few local brewski's, namely the Powder Hound by The Grizzly Paw which is a local brewery in Canmore, Alberta.
On our first adventure we left in the early morning to take the Banff Gondola to Sulphur Mountain, one of the most mesmerizing views of Banff. Make sure to fill up prior on a classic Canadian breakfast at Tim Hortons, the Canadian way.
The next adventure was a private helicopter ride at Rockies Heli Canada who took us from Kananaskis through the Rocky Mountains. It was a gorgeous clear day which resulted in excellent video footage. We even saw the same river where they shot the movie: The Revenant.
What also amazed us were the buck loads of wildlife passing by the RV throughout our stay at Banff's tunnel mountain campgrounds.
In next week's article I will give you all the details on our adventure at Lake Louise were I completed an 11 hour, 20 kilometer hike, thus best is to relax and relieve your sore muscles at Banff Upper Hot Springs after that trip.
In conclusion we were very fortunate that we had excellent weather with blue skies the entire trip. I highly recommend visiting Calgary, Banff & Lake Louise in the first week of June for the best experience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Banff, located in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, is one part resort town and one part breathtaking natural retreat.
Life is a little different at over 4,600 feet in elevation—by the way, that makes Banff Canada’s highest town. During your Banff sightseeing, you’ll learn that the town’s residents and visitors are a lively bunch, and you’ll find the local businesses are perfect for this festive crowd. Choose from over 100 restaurants to dine at, or stop by one or two of the dozens of pubs and cafes for an inexpensive snack and drink after walking through the many boutiques. You can also enjoy a marvelous time after the sun goes down; try dancing the night away at the DancingSasquatch, or visiting one of Banff’s other nightclubs.
Banff National Park is known for its wildlife, some of which frequents Banff itself. You’ll often spot deer at the outskirts of town, some of which are friendly and curious about people. Once you say hello to the deer, make the drive to nearby Johnston Canyon, where you can take in snow-capped alpine scenery straight out of a fairy tale.
Warm up after all this time spent outside: head to the Banff Upper Hot Springs. This exquisite spa has treated visitors to hot water and stunning views of the Rockies for over a century, and will continue to do so for a century to come.

FAQ - What CameraDo I Use?
► My Daily Vlogs are filmed using a Sony A7sii. The camera can shoot in 4k and slow motion so whenever I need variety, the camera not only provides me with high quality, but these options also add something to the rig. I attach a Joby tripod to the underside of the camera to give me some leverage whilst vlogging.
►I sometimes shoot on a Canon 5Dmk3, a Sony RX100mkiv, or a Go Pro Hero 4/ Go Pro session.
► I live in a town called Walton on Thames, in Surrey, UK.

FAQ - What CameraDo I Use?
► My Daily Vlogs are filmed using a Sony A7sii. The camera can shoot in 4k and slow motion so whenever I need variety, the camera not only provides me with high quality, but these options also add something to the rig. I attach a Joby tripod to the underside of the camera to give me some leverage whilst vlogging.
►I sometimes shoot on a Canon 5Dmk3, a Sony RX100mkiv, or a Go Pro Hero 4/ Go Pro session.
► I live in a town called Walton on Thames, in Surrey, UK.

Bre-X Minerals Gold Mining Scandal

In 1993, an obscure prospector stumbled across a neglected property in Borneo and turned it into a mining site worth billions. Michael De Guzman fooled both the mining industry and the entire financial world and so became a multi-millionaire. Using salted samples with gold from his wedding ring, de Guzman fooled the gold industry into investing in his mines - on land owned by Bre-X.

This video I shot Awhile ago and I've just been overloaded with videos at the moment to upload it sooner. I left Calgary early morning and headed down to the Crownsnest pass which offers lots of history into settlements into the area and the coal mining business. The most famous part of the area is Frank's slide in which part of turtle mountain collapsed and buried the town of frank below. 2 miners died at the actual mine but all the miners in the mine itself made it out by digging themselves out of the mountain itself.

Fool´s Gold (Gold Mining in Costa Rica documentary)

Fool´s Gold (El Oro de los Tontos, 2011) is a 30-minute documentary produced by Costa Rican local activists and University professors, depicting an outrageous string of legal and political irregularities that almost allowed a Canadian Mining Company to destroy a rain forest system in NorthernCosta Rica (the so-called "Crucitas Gold Mine"). In a last-minute decision, an Administrative Court revoked the mining permits, and instructed an investigation of Former President, and Nobel-Prize winner, Oscar Arias, who personally endorsed the project from its inception. This video also gained notoriety as two interviewed professors from the Universidad de Costa Rica were sued by the Company for a million dollars each!

The speakers are: José Luis Abarca, son of Mariano Abarca; Miguel Angel de los Santos, lawyer, Human RightsCentre - Autonomous University of Chiapas (UNACH); Libertad Díaz, Otros Mundos Chiapas; and Miguel Mijangos, MexicanNetwork of Mining Affected People (REMA).
Background of the speaking tour:
Over eight years ago, Mariano Abarca was shot and killed in front of his family restaurant in Chicomuselo, Chiapas, in southern Mexico. Abarca had been a key leader in his community’s fight against the social and environmental impacts of a Canadian company’s mining operations. All of the suspects in his murder were connected to the Calgary-based company, Blackfire Exploration. There never has been a full, impartial investigation.
This case is being brought to Canada now because documents obtained through Access to Information show that the Canadian Embassy in Mexico supported Blackfire extensively and is now being accused of being implicated in Abarca’s death. Canadian and Mexican organisations are asking the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner (PSIC) to investigate the acts and omissions of the Canadian Embassy in Mexico that they believe contributed to putting Mr. Abarca’s life in danger.
We are asking for your support in calling for an investigation into this case by the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner.

This video I shot Awhile ago and I've just been overloaded with videos at the moment to upload it sooner. I left Calgary early morning and headed down to the Crownsnest pass which offers lots of history into settlements into the area and the coal mining business. The most famous part of the area is Frank's slide in which part of turtle mountain collapsed and buried the town of frank below. 2 miners died at the actual mine but all the miners in the mine itself made it out by digging themselves out of the mountain itself.
Other areas of interest are frank slide,leitch collieries,hillcrest mine disaster,bellevue underground mine,various ghost towns and abandon mines,lumbreck falls,burmiss tree
If your ever in the area it's a great and interesting place to check out there is so much to spending 1 day is just never enough to see it all.
music used in the video are royalty free the songs used are "pop punk rock","rich scores main mix","monster in the mist","creepy Haunted atmosphere","bride of satan" all these music tunes can be downloaded at

Solar Eclipse Aug 21 2017 Calgary Alberta Canada

My plan was to be in the path of total totality but life got in the way and I ended up not going (went gold mining instead!!).
Anyway I was all sore from mining and I thought I would do a video of the solar eclipse as seen from Calgary Alberta Canada. The maximum coverage was only 80%.
Some things to note: It didnt really get any darker out, but it did drop in temperature! Anyway I hope you enjoy the video, I will admit it was a bit amature. Send me money for better equipment..
Oh well, next time.

Canadian Legends: The Lost Lemon Mine

There are tales of a mine in Alberta, one so legendary that whoever finds it will be set up for life with the riches inside.
The trick is finding the mine, which may or may not exist. For over a century now, its legend has persisted as the mine itself has remained lost to history.
It is the Lost Lemon Mine, and few mines in the Rockies are as well-known, or as sought after. Many call it the greatest mystery of the Canadian Rockies and those who have looked for it have met with failure, and in some cases, death.
The tale begins in 1875 with Sir Cecil E. Denny, a baron from England who moved to Edmonton to become a police officer and author. Serving with the North West Mounted Police as an inspector, he arrested a Mexican outlaw and whiskey trader. The outlaw began talking about a cache of gold dust hidden in a rock cleft in the mountains, coupled with a tale of murder.
Highly skeptical of the story, Denny asked that the outlaw lead him to it. They journeyed to the spot and found two skeletons and a buckskin bag that was in very poor condition. Around the ground was gold dust, valued at hundreds of dollars.
That is where the tale ends of Denny, and the outlaw, who paid a fine and disappeared.
Four years later in 1879, Joe Lemon and his partner Black Jack apparently found the mine, and the gold inside. Sadly, gold can make people do strange things and after an argument over whether or not they should return in the spring, or camp at the location. The argument became heated enough that after they bedded down, Lemon apparently murdered Black Jack with an axe to the head. Resolving to leave the camp the next morning, Lemon built a huge fire and paced back and forth with a rifle, mumbling to himself as he slowly went mad, or at least had a mental breakdown. He would make his way back into civilization and confessed to his crime.
According to legend, some Blackfoot saw the murder take place and they told their chief. ChiefBearspaw then put a curse on the area and had his tribe swear they would never reveal the mine to anyone. They also destroyed the entire site, and all evidence of anyone being there.
It is also rumoured that Black Jack terrorized his former friend with glowing eyes staring at him, slowly driving Lemon insane during that fateful night. Some accounts say that as soon as Lemon would leave the area around the mine, he would regain his senses. Upon reaching civilization, he confessed to a priest, but again accounts differ and some say he led a group of miners towards the Lemon Mine but again as he approached the area, he once again went insane.
Regardless of what happened following the murder, Lemon was eventually sentenced to death by hanging for the murder. He would pass away from smallpox before he could be hanged.
Interestingly, according to Frank Anderson, a folk historian, Black Jack did not die at the hands of Lemon, but quietly as an old man in 1913.
As word spread about the mine, hundreds of men began searching over the years.
John McDougall, who had been dispatched to bury the body of Black Jack, would later lead a party to the mine area. Prior to meeting up with a group of miners, he stopped at a fort in Montana, sat down to drink and promptly drank himself to death.
LafayetteFrench, a pioneer in southern Alberta, reportedly found the mine and returned to High River. Soon after arriving at his cabin on Willow Creek, the building burned down, taking all the evidence, and French's life, in the process.
In the1930s, there were reports of gold in the area of where the mine was reported to be. An expedition was led by an experienced trapper and prospector named George Pocaterra, but no gold and no mine, were ever found. Despite this, 200 to 300, and by some accounts 700, men came upon the area looking for gold, but none was ever found and within 10 days, everyone had left the area.
FredCaron wrote a diary of this short gold rush.
Another man by the name of Barb WireJohnny, who lived in the Willow Creek area, spent a great deal of his time in the mountains and stated he had found the mine at one time. While he said he knew where the mine was located, he never revealed it to anyone.
Today, while many have attempted, no one has ever found the fabled mine again.

TOP 8 WORST PLACES TO MOVE IN CANADA (2013)

We’ve told you about some of the underrated immigration destinations in Canada, now check out our list of places prospective Canadians should avoid: the poor places, the racist places, the isolated places, the depressing places, the worst of the worst! Naturally, the tiny towns in the woods of Northern Ontario or the southern shore of Newfoundland would be the worst of the worst, but let’s be reasonable. Here are list of towns and cities with a substantial population (at least 5000 residents) that might seem like a decent idea to a prospective immigrant interested in a slower pace of living.

High crime rate? Check.
High unemployment? Check.
High cost of living? Check.
Limited access to services? Check.
High property taxes? Check.
Bad weather? Check.
Despite being a small, quaint city just a few hours from Halifax, New Glasgow tops polls of the worst places to live in Canada. How could those 10,000 people stand it? They must have all been born there.
In 2009 New Glasgow ranked 36th out of 208 in StatsCan's crime severity index. The crime rate increased from 2011 to 2012, and was significantly higher than the provincial average.
In 2006, New Glasgow had an unemployment rate of 7.7%. It has decreased since then and, as of the 2011 census, it was 5.7%, or slightly lower than the provincial average.
The cost of living in New Glasgow was estimated by one website to be 4% higher than the cost of living in New York City, but only 30.3% of those reporting say their households earn more than $60,000 Canadian per year (after taxes).
Property tax in New Glasgow was higher than the average in Nova Scotia and significantly higher than Halifax up to and including 2013.
Climate
New Glasgow receives 1212 cm of precipitation per year (that's more than Vancouver).
